  • BACKGROUND
  • In order to meet classified washing needs and large washing capacity needs of users, some washing machines are provided with two washing cylinders, both of which can hold washing water and objects to be washed to achieve the purpose of dual-cylinder washing. When the washing machine has the function of high-temperature steaming and disinfection, the washing water in the two washing cylinders of the washing machine is usually heated to a higher temperature to achieve the purpose of steaming and disinfecting the objects to be washed. When both washing cylinders need to execute the high-temperature steaming program, in order to prevent a working power of the washing machine from being too large, which will make it difficult to adapt to safety current limiting conditions of most users' homes, the washing water in the two washing cylinders is usually heated in turn for high-temperature steaming. However, due to the high heating temperature of the washing water set in the high-temperature steaming program, the dual-cylinder washing machine will spray a large amount of water vapor for a long time when executing the high-temperature steaming program, which can very easily cause damage to walls, furniture and other household apparatuses at a position where the dual-cylinder washing machine is placed in the user's home due to long-time exposure to moisture. Moreover, if an arrangement space of the dual-cylinder washing machine is relatively closed, a large amount of water vapor will also reduce a visibility of the arrangement space, thus reducing the visibility for users in the arrangement space, which poses a hidden safety hazard.

A first valve port of the three-way valve 3 for air outflow is communicated with the first washing cylinder 1 (hereinafter, the valve port of the three-way valve 3 that is communicated with the first washing cylinder 1 is collectively referred to as the first valve port), and a second valve port of the three-way valve 3 for air outflow is communicated with the second washing cylinder 2 (hereinafter, the valve port of the three-way valve 3 that is communicated with the second washing cylinder 2 is collectively referred to as the second valve port). A valve spool of the three-way valve 3 can switch between a blocking position of the first valve port and a blocking position of the second valve port, so that an airflow in the air duct 4 can selectively enter the first washing cylinder 1 and the second washing cylinder 2 for ventilation or drying. The heating device includes a first heating unit capable of heating washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 and a second heating unit capable of heating washing water in the second washing cylinder 2. The above-mentioned three-way valve 3 is any valve device that can selectively block any of the first valve port and the second valve port, such as a wax motor three-way valve. The first heating unit and the second heating unit mentioned above can be any type of heating apparatus that can meet the heating needs of washing water. The first heating unit includes a heating module and a temperature control module, the heating module achieves the purpose of heating the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1, and the temperature control module can at least control the heating module to be turned off when the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 is heated to an expected temperature. A basic structure of the second heating unit is the same as that of the first heating unit, but considering that the first washing cylinder 1 and the second washing cylinder 2 do not need to be heated simultaneously, the temperature control module of the second heating unit and the temperature control module of the first heating unit are preferably configured into one piece. Specifically, the first heating unit or the second heating unit can heat the water in the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 by heating the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2; for example, the heating module of the first heating unit or the second heating unit can be an electromagnetic heating device, and at least part of the structure of the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 is made of a metal material, so that a cylinder body of the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 can be subjected to a magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic heating device, thus generating an eddy current effect and producing heat, and transferring the heating energy to the water in the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2, thereby achieving the effect of heating the washing water. Alternatively, the first heating unit or the second heating unit can protrude into the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 in a way that does not affect the rotation of the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 so as to heat the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2; for example, the heating module of the first heating unit or the second heating unit is an electric wire heating device that protrudes into the interior of the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 in a way that does not affect the rotation of the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2, so that the electric wire heating device directly enters the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 or the second washing cylinder 2 and heats the washing water. The specific structures and arrangement positions of the first heating unit and the second heating unit can be the same or different, as long as the first heating unit and the second heating unit can meet the washing water heating needs of the first washing cylinder 1 and the second washing cylinder 2 correspondingly.
  • The high-temperature steaming method of the present disclosure will be described below in connection with the above dual-cylinder washing machine.
  • Next, reference is made to FIG. 2 , which is a flowchart illustrating steps of the high-temperature steaming method for the dual-cylinder washing machine of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2 , the high-temperature steaming method for the dual-cylinder washing machine of the present disclosure includes:
      • Step S1: heating the first washing cylinder 1 using the first heating unit of the heating device, and making the three-way valve 3 block the first valve port;
      • Step S2: obtaining a washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1;
      • Step S3: when the washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 reaches a first steaming temperature, stopping the first heating unit from heating the first washing cylinder 1, and heating the second washing cylinder 2 using the second heating unit;
      • Step S4: obtaining a washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 and a washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2;
      • Step S5: if the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to a preset temperature, then making the three-way valve 3 switch a valve position and block the valve port that communicates with the second washing cylinder 2; and
      • Step S6: when the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 reaches a second steaming temperature, stopping the second heating unit from heating the second washing cylinder 2.
  • In the above steps, the “washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1” is the temperature of the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 when being heated, and the “washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2” is the temperature of the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2 when being heated. The “first steaming temperature” is a highest temperature to which the washing water inside the first washing cylinder 1 can increase after being heated during the high-temperature steaming program, and the “second steaming temperature” is a highest temperature to which the washing water inside the second washing cylinder 2 can increase after being heated during the high-temperature steaming program. The set values of the first steaming temperature and the second steaming temperature can be the same or different. Those skilled in the art can set the specific temperature values of the first steaming temperature and the second steaming temperature according to the steaming and disinfection needs. Exemplarily, the first steaming temperature is a temperature value larger than and the second steaming temperature is the same as the first steaming temperature. For example, the first steaming temperature and the second steaming temperature are both 95° C. The first heating unit stops working when the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 is heated to 95° C., and at the same time, the second heating unit starts heating the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2 until the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2 is heated to thus completing the heating work in the high-temperature steaming program. The “washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1” is the temperature of the washing water in a cooling process of the first washing cylinder 1 after heating is completed. The “preset temperature” is an expected reduced temperature value set for the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1. When the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to this expected reduced temperature value, the amount of steam generated by the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 is relatively small, and a small amount of steam escapes from the first washing cylinder 1, and then condenses and evaporates to disappear during the process of escaping from the interior of the dual-cylinder washing machine to the outside. Even if a very small amount of steam can escape from the dual-cylinder washing machine, the escaping steam will dissipate into the air very quickly, and the influence on the decoration environment and visual environment can be negligible. Preferably, the above preset temperature is any temperature value between 50° C. and 60° C. (including 50° C. and 60° C.), such as 60° C. The temperature parameters required to be obtained, such as the above first washing water temperature, the second washing water temperature, and the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1, can all be obtained through temperature acquisition devices such as temperature sensors arranged inside the corresponding washing cylinders.
  • Through the above steps, the time when the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature can be used as the timing for the three-way valve 3 to switch the blocking position of the valve spool, so that when the washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 is relatively high and there is a large amount of steam generated, the steam escaping from the washing cylinder is blocked, thus preventing a large amount of steam from escaping from the first washing cylinder 1 to the outside of the dual-cylinder washing machine; and when the washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases and the amount of steam generated is low so that it is almost impossible for the steam to escape to the outside of the dual-cylinder washing machine, a valve spool position switch operation of the three-way valve 3 is performed so that the second valve port is blocked by the valve spool; in this way, before the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 rises to a higher temperature and the amount of steam generated increases sharply, the channel of the washing cylinder from which the steam can escape is blocked. By switching the three-way valve 3 at the set timing, a large amount of steam escaping from the first washing cylinder 1 and a large amount of steam escaping from the second washing cylinder 2 are sequentially blocked, thereby maximally reducing the total amount of steam escaping from the first washing cylinder 1 and the second washing cylinder 2 during the process of executing the entire high-temperature steaming program.
  • In a possible embodiment, a temperature rising rate of the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2 can be controlled by adjusting a heating power for the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2. In the high-temperature steaming program, an output power of the second heating unit can be appropriately increased or decreased according to a decreasing rate of the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1, thereby increasing or decreasing an increasing rate of the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2, so that when the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature, the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2 is controlled to be heated to a temperature not exceeding the preset temperature. In a preferred situation, when the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature, the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 just increases to the preset temperature, which can not only ensure an overall heating efficiency of the first washing cylinder 1 and the second washing cylinder 2, but also can control the three-way valve 3 to timely switch the valve spool from the first valve port to the second valve port when there is no steam obviously escaping from the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 and a large amount of steam is about to escape from the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2, so that the valve ports corresponding to each washing cylinder can be in a closed state when a large amount of steam is generated in both washing cylinders, thus effectively reducing the overall amount of escaping steam. Of course, in addition to controlling the heating power of the second heating unit, those skilled in the art can also estimate or control the temperature rising rate of the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2 based on the volume of the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2.
  • In another possible embodiment, the high-temperature steaming method for the dual-cylinder washing machine of the present disclosure further includes:
      • if the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 is higher than the preset temperature and the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 is within a set temperature range, then temporarily stopping the second heating unit from heating the second washing cylinder 2;
      • obtaining the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 again; and
      • in a case where the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature, continuing to heat the second washing cylinder 2 using the second heating unit, where a largest temperature value in the set temperature range is smaller than or equal to the preset temperature.
  • In the above steps, the temperature values within the set temperature range are all close to and smaller than the preset temperature. Before the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature, once the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 increases to be within the set temperature range, by controlling the second heating unit to stop working temporarily, the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 can be temporarily stopped from continuing to rise, so as to prevent a large amount of steam from beginning to escape from the second washing cylinder 2 to the outside before the three-way valve 3 switches the valve spool to the blocking position of the second valve port. When the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature, the three-way valve 3 controls the valve spool to block the second valve port; at this time, the second heating unit continues to heat the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2. After this, even if the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 increases beyond the set temperature range very quickly or even exceeds the preset temperature, the large amount of steam gradually increasing in the second washing cylinder 2 will be blocked by the valve spool and cannot escape to the outside. The above set temperature range is preferably 40° C. to 50° C.
  • In further another possible embodiment, the high-temperature steaming method for the dual-cylinder washing machine of the present disclosure further includes:
      • in a case where the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 is higher than the preset temperature and the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 increases to the preset temperature, if the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to be lower than or equal to the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2, then making the three-way valve 3 switch the valve position and block the valve port communicating with the second washing cylinder 2.
  • In the above steps, if the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 has already increased to the preset temperature before the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to the preset temperature, a large amount of steam can each escape from the washing water in the first washing cylinder 1 and the washing water in the second washing cylinder 2. In this case, if the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 decreases to be lower than or equal to the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2, it indicates that the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2 is higher and more steam is generated. At this time, there is no need to wait for the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 to decrease to the preset temperature; instead, the three-way valve 3 is directly controlled to switch the valve spool from the blocking position of the first valve port to the blocking position of the second valve port, thereby blocking the second washing cylinder 2 from which more steam can escape. If the washing water cooling temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 is higher than the washing water temperature of the second washing cylinder 2, then the state in which the three-way valve 3 blocks the first valve port is maintained, thereby blocking the first washing cylinder 1 from which more steam can escape.
  • Based on any of the above embodiments, the step of “making the three-way valve 3 block the first valve port” includes:
      • in a case where the washing water of the first washing cylinder 1 is heated by the first heating unit and the second valve port is blocked by the three-way valve 3 (i.e., when heating the washing water of the first washing cylinder 1, the valve spool of the three-way valve 3 is not in the blocking position of the first valve port), if the washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 reaches the preset temperature, then making the three-way valve 3 switch the blocking position of the valve spool from the second valve port to the first valve port; and
      • in a case where the washing water of the first washing cylinder 1 is heated by the first heating unit and the first valve port is blocked by the three-way valve 3 (i.e., when heating the washing water of the first washing cylinder 1, the valve spool of the three-way valve 3 is already in the blocking position of the first valve port), making the three-way valve 3 maintain the state of blocking the first valve port.
  • Of course, in the first case mentioned above, the time when the washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 reaches the preset temperature is only the latest timing for the three-way valve 3 to switch the blocking position of the valve spool to the first valve port. In actual operation, before the washing water temperature of the first washing cylinder 1 does not exceed the preset temperature, the three-way valve 3 can also switch the valve spool to the position of blocking the first valve port at any time.
